Korra season 4 was probably my favourite. It had the most interesting villain motivations, for me at least. If you've come this far why not just finish it? It's only 13 episodes.

On the other hand, if you ain't enjoyed it so far why keep subjecting yourself to it?

Regalingualius posted:Ehh, I'd say Avatar started off kinda weak, though the creative team had enough talent to make episodes like 'The Blue Spirit' to convince the execs to give it a chance. And from there, well... We all know the rest. Out of curiousity, have either of those two done anything noteworthy since Korra ended?

Really positive if you liked the old cartoon. A nicely done serialized plot with good reimagination. Just at least watch the episode after the opening movie at least. It's closer in tone to the rest of the series, the opening has way more potty humor and corny parts.

Always mean to get back to it, but there's just so much TV. Still haven't finished Trollhunters either, which is a better show.

I'm going to an 11:30 Captain Underpants screening tonight, and so far it looks like I'll have the theater to myself. Which is perfectly fine with me.

Luckily the local theater is showing it, but unluckily, as I just moved to a fairly small barely-city, it's the only thing airing that I'm interested in. EDIT: and I stumbled on a review with the critic being shocked at Captain Underpants having potty humor. Robindaybird fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jun 2, 2017 |

It feels like a lot of kids films of the past year or two have had potty humor in them somewhere. Angry Birds? Swimming in a pond, gargling its water, before realizing it's some guy's piss pool. Trolls? They poo poo cupcakes. Secret Life of Pets? Actual rabbit poo poo. Moana? Maui telling Moana to look for warm water, but when she feels it, she quickly realizes why it's warm... Even Zootopia had "FIIIILTHY TOILET! You're dead, fluff-butt." (Though Word of God is that was intended to foreshadow going down a toilet to escape Cliffside Asylum later on...) I can't immediately think of any for Kubo, Finding Dory or LEGO Batman, and haven't watched Storks or Sing (or Angry Birds/Trolls/SLoP, but they put the potty humor right in the trailers so I don't have to), but yeah, toilet humor abound.

Does burping count as potty humor, or does that tip over the line to generalized gross-out humor? Everything just falls under "rude" to me.

The Trolls one is mega weird because there's no other indication that anything poops cupcakes, it's a total non-sequitur.

Or has a villain named Professor Poopypants, or have a giant toilet in the trailer. It's like going to see Dumbo and be surprised there's Elephants.

Hedrigall posted:Harvey Birdman is great This is from a few pages back, and kinda off topic, but my first grade teacher was the sister of one of the actors on Babylon 5. They invited him to do a presentation for the school, and it included a brutally honest lecture on how hard it is to be a TV actor. The lecture involved: - horror stories about how lovely it is to have your makeup done for six hours every shoot. - a demonstration of how fickle directors can be, where he pulled two kids from the audience, gave them lines and blocking, and then made them start over from the top every time they screwed up. This lasted upwards of 45 minutes. You could feel the boredom and disenfranchisement emanating from the auditorium. In spite of all that, I still got the guy's autograph.

In on topic news, I just watched Bakshi's Lord of The Rings and my God is it the most boring thing I've ever seen. *two minutes of exposition* *five minutes of poorly superimposed men in Orc costumes running.* Repat until the film runs out.

I can't remember who it is was exactly (I was 7 at the time) but I know it wasn't jurasik. This guy had jet black hair, was heavily tanned and, if a I remember correctly, was one of the characters who wore heavy makeup. I'd post the autograph to confirm his identity, but I lost it in a move.

Pick posted:Fuuuuuuuuuuuck, Andreas Katsulas?! That guy oooooowned. Hmm... I don't think so. This guy was a lot younger, and his sister was no older than 30. The teacher's last name was...I wanna say Biggs, if that helps? Edit: I think it was Richard Biggs. Apparently he died in 2004.  Edit 2: also, in my memory, apparently bi-racial translates to "tanned". Wtf. For some reason I remembered my teacher being a stark white woman, so that may be what threw me off.

Wow, I missed a ton of great films the past couple of years. Guess I'll marathon through a couple I've found. The Illusionist, The Painting, The Prophet, and April and the Extraordinary World.

Is Monkeybone animated enough to talk about in this thread? Just watched it for the first time since it came out and I am really impressed with how well the weird mishmash of prosthetics, stop motion, and CGI of Down Town hold up.

It must be sad watching Babylon 5 cast reunions because there's no one on stage except several coffins, and Bruce Boxleitner.

(I love the books, but even I have to admit they can be a slog) It's been a while since I watched it but it's basically the first two books crammed into one film. Related, Rankin Bass did adaptions of both The Hobbit and Return of the King which I don't remember being that bad aside from the hideous art style.
